Kelowna’s Rock the Lake already selling tickets for next year

On the heels of the successful classic rock festival in downtown Kelowna this past weekend, tickets are already on sale for next year’s Rock the Lake.

Pent-up demand following a two-year COVID hiatus may explain the huge turnout for the sold-out rock festival this year.

The three-day festival will happen in the parking lot of Prospera Place in Kelowna from Aug. 11 to Aug. 13 next year.

This year’s event featured bands like The Tea Party, A Flock of Seagulls, Nazareth, Moist, Trooper, Chilliwack, Bif Naked and Grapes of Wrath.
